Overview

Mission

Sunflower kids is organized for charitable and educational purposes, more specifically to provide children, who do not have enough to eat, with adequate nutrition, support children and young adults with educational opportunities, and support for children and families who demonstrate urgent needs such as (but not only) in times of illness, inadequate housing, death in the family, seed money for very small business, and clothing.

What it reported doing in 2024

We collaborate with stepbystep daycare to provide daycare for 50 children. In 2022, we served over 42,000 meals and snacks. Our focus is good nutrition to create a healthy foundation for learning. We utilize a montessori style curriculum. We were able to provide age appropriate, safe playground equipment. Every christmas holiday, we have a feast and approximately 100 kids attend. Most of our older sponsored students and daycare kiddos attend. We currently facilitate 55 educational sponsorships for students from kindergarten through college. Sponsorships include school fees, supplies, uniforms and tracksuits, shoes, bedding, testing fees, health insurance, transportation, and school outings. Some of our students have been with us for 11 years and rapidly approaching graduation. We have been there for them through illness, death of family members, and separation of families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
